I’ve been on hiatus for a while now. Not motivated to write a single word, publicly anyway.

I have been enraged enough to start typing though. September 11 is coming upon us again. But this year, some haters, publicity seekers or whatever you wish to call them are turning this day of mourning into a revengeful, spiteful, hate fest against them (whomever them may be).

The burning of the Koran because Al Qaeda has chosen to hide behind their religion to spread hate and fear is about as useful as burning the Bible because the KKK hides behind their religion to do the same thing.

And the sheer fact that people can not or will not decipher the difference is exactly what’s wrong with the world today.

There are some bad eggs in everything. I personally know Muslims, and they are as loving and peace oriented as some Christians that I know.

If you want to make a statement about who we as Americans are, spend September 11 volunteering, having coffee with a Muslim, or praying for those who are lost in hate and fear. And by all means, light a candle or two in the memory of the lives that were physically, mentally, and spiritually lost on that day.

Are these holidays really happy or merry? Does adding happy or merry to the holiday make you feel happy or merry? Or do you just feel happy and merry because you enjoy the significance of the holiday?

I’m thinking of putting this theory to the test. I’ve been feeling really crappy lately. So, I’m wondering if I blurt out “HAPPY CRAPPY DAY” if that will make me feel happy about feeling crappy? Who knows, maybe I’ll start a National holiday where everyone gets to stay home and feel happy about feeling crappy! Hell, if I could have a stay home feelin’ crappy day, WITH PAY….That would make me pretty damn happy about feeling crappy!

Bah humbug! YES, I’m being a scrooge….. but no matter how many times people blurt out MERRY CHRISTMAS or HAPPY HOLIDAYS, it doesn’t make me feel anymore merry or happy! (sorry, but you’d have to know what’s going on or be in the same place in order to understand this sentiment)

On another note, I noticed the Christians are trying to take over the phrase, Happy Holidays. They’re now saying, “Jesus being born is a happy holiday”. Give me a freakin’ break. Let people have their non committal, politically correct phrase that covers everything and makes everyone but a scrooge happy, Damn it!
